Abstract

Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)’s Teaching Factory has a production room where different types of items are packaged. The production room has 6 working cells in it and one of the main issues is regarding the conveyance type of waste that may have an impact on the effectiveness of the production room (transportation). The flow of the material to be brought into the inventory is not efficient enough and affects the working cells inside the production room. The purpose of this research is to relayout the production floor of Teaching Factory and achieve optimum efficiency in the line. Several objectives were developed and based on the context and problem statement listed. The primary objective is to investigate the waste that involves transportation throughout the process. Once the waste is analyzed, the next step is to propose a new layout for the Teaching Factory floor to reduce the inefficient of transportation in the production line and validate it using the comparison of total distance calculations. Redesigning the facility's layout on the production floor using the Systematic Layout Planning Method is one way to address issues that arise. The methodology used entails techniques for gathering data and steps for building layouts to maximize overall productivity. In this study, a new optimal layout for the ideal production level is proposed. As a results of final discussions, the comparison of total distance between the current and proposed layout are justified.
